Maritime trade has been buoyant since several centuries.

The Indian peninsula with a coastline


of 7,500 km and a potential of 14,500 km of navi-gable waterways, makes port-led development a
preferred long-term strategy for trade and transport. It is with this in mind, that NDA I under the
leadership of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee envisioned a maritime equivalent of the Golden
quadrilateral. Taking his vision forward,Narendra Modi-led Government of India undertook the
ambitious Sagarmala project.

National Perspective Plan (NPP), which was released by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in April
2016, gives details of the Sagarmala project.Considering our economy is tightly coupled with
the domestic and international trade (95% of merchandise trade passes through sea ports), port-led
development is a long-overdue initiative.
